Patty Ice
Straight to the Banc
Wouldn't this be a clear case where you can get the player for an offer sheet between $1.5m and $2m? Anaheim can afford it, new York can't, and it's not really an overpayment even if they believe deangelo is a 30 pt defenceman with serious defensive issues.
That is if DeAngelo is willing to sign for that. He is likely looking for closer for $2.5-$3M. In line with guys who put up similar productive seasons heading into their contract years.
